We already know about the blessing for beer, but there's also a Catholic blessing for another of our favorite food groups — bacon! While it might not be very useful on a (meatless) Friday, it's a good tool to share with your favorite priest.
V. Our help is in the name of the Lord
R. Who has made heaven and earth.
V. The Lord be with you.
R. And with your spirit
Let us pray. Bless, Lord, this bacon which You have made, that it may be a healthful food for mankind. Grant by the invocation of Your holy name that all who partake of it may receive health of body and safety of soul, through Christ our Lord.
R. Amen. (Then it is sprinkled with holy water.)
H/T to The Catholic Gentleman.
